Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 707 All the gifts of fate have been secretly marked with equivalents

Behind the clan's position, in the deepest part of the enclosed layers of Solomon's Law, the strange flesh and blood organ that grew out of the pit has grown to hundreds of meters high.

The underground roots are like blue veins protruding from the earth, covering an area hundreds or thousands of times the height of the blood beast's lair.

Mud and flesh were indistinguishable from each other, forming a translucent vesicular chamber, with two umbilical cords extending out to connect to two huge figures curled up like babies.

As the war progressed, the momentum of the Hundred-Headed Dragon Mother and the Thousand-Faced Serpent grew stronger and stronger, but they were protected by the [Unknown] authority of the World Will, and their existence could not be seen from the outside at all.

After two months of bloody battles in the meat grinder and nearly one million casualties, even though a considerable portion of the "raw materials" were used to create various monsters, they were about to reach the critical point.

Therefore, the old gods are not only not afraid of the regular army of the First British Empire coming to pick peaches, but they are afraid that they will not come.

But this method of "divine soldiers descending from the sky" was still beyond their expectations.

Buzz buzz.
The unique buzzing sound of flapping-wing aircraft filled my ears. One, two, three, three hundred, and twelve hundred aircraft appeared at the end of my sight.

Thousands of flapping-wing aircraft gathered into a large dark cloud. The vibration of their bird-like bionic wings actually created a tide of wind element.

The demigod's [Divine Vision] saw it clearly. These flapping-wing planes formed a formation and flew like migrating geese, some in a V-shape and some in a straight line.

Ride on the airflow of teammates in front to achieve minimal energy consumption.

Moreover, behind each manned flapping-wing aircraft are five unmanned flapping-wing aircraft. There is no one in the cockpit, but a metal ball with a red dot on it. This is a combination of an artificial machine soul and a differential machine.

There is no doubt that these flapping-wing aircraft are not fighting alone, but in formation clusters supported by the Law Network, which can also be called a "combat cloud"!
With the support of the zero-level holy relic [Faros Lighthouse], they can apply for temporary legal network support for every military operation. There is no place on this planet that can disconnect them from the Internet.

No one can imitate them except the First Empire of the Sun.

For the whale oil mechanics, manufacturing these simple flapping-wing aircraft is much simpler than manufacturing dreadnoughts weighing more than 20,000 tons. As soon as they appeared on the scene, they gave the old gods a little shock from "Industrial Cthulhu".

"Your Majesty Lucifer, don't let them come over!"

Tiamat, the mother of a hundred dragons, was once the ruler of the sky. She was also the ancestor of the giant dragons who forced humans to max out the "forbidden sky area" in order to compete. No one understands the importance of air supremacy better than her.

Lucifer was once the vice-lord of heaven who commanded the angel army, and he also knew the advantages that the air force had over land combat.

Upon hearing this, he immediately raised the seal ring in his hand and decisively issued the decree:

"Flying is prohibited here!"

The Solomon Code acted upon it, weaving a tight legal net above the clan's position, trying to trap Byron's Royal Air Force and make them crash on their own.

The "forbidden air zone" that represents the pinnacle of human development is the biggest obstacle for all forces to establish air forces, and is also the starting point for war.

At this time, the light of the level 0 holy relic [Faros Lighthouse] in Byron's hand lit up, and the powerful "Saint Byron Code" descended on the battlefield, directly sending its own legal net into the enemy's territory.

It's sizzling!It's sizzling!
The network of laws above the heads of both parties turned into twisted giant pythons that constantly collided and hissed, but also fell silent against each other, cutting off all effects of the laws.

Seeing the ornithopter getting closer, Lucifer quickly gave the order to the Mother of Monsters:
"Send our dragon riders to stop them."

Soon, various flying dragons, Quetzalcoatlus, and Archaeopteryx of the dragon genus took off into the air carrying their knights.

The forbidden air zone can restrain the dragon by relying on the power of law. The stronger the law, the better the effect.

This had been tried when the Blood Beast's Lair attacked the North Sea Empire. If the Dragon Knights were to invade the airspace of the First Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, they would definitely be shot down.

Only in our own airspace can we rely on the Code of Solomon to barely compete with it.

[Blood Beast Lair] also urgently created a group of smaller flying monsters, hoping to provide assistance.

It was only after takeoff that we discovered that the normal flying altitude of birds is only 1000 meters, while the flying altitude of flapping-wing aircraft generally reaches 8000 meters.

Small monsters can't fly up at all.

The main air forces of both sides soon encountered each other in the sky. Most of the clansmen took out heavy crossbows and javelins, and a few elite members even took out their ancestral dragon lances and wanted to launch a charge at those steel monsters.

Then, they faced
Ta da da. Ta da da.
Thousands of aircraft cannons spewed out fire snakes, and just like the previous land battle, they swept towards the clan.

Regardless of size, these flapping-wing aircraft are two-seaters without propellers, and the front pilot is a [Knight] or [Soldier] who is responsible for driving.

The fireman at the back is an [artillery expert] or [musketeer], who is responsible for operating the machine gun and can shoot at the enemy from any direction.

"what--!"

Even the tough ground units couldn't stop the machine guns, let alone the fragile flying units? Dragon Knights were bleeding in the sky, spinning and whistling as they fell from the sky.

The flames and acid breath of the flying dragon can only reach a hundred meters at most. Fighting against these flapping-wing aircraft equipped with machine guns is like a fifth-generation aircraft colliding with a sixth-generation aircraft. It has no ability to fight back at all.

At this time, Byron casually drew a circle on the map and synchronized it to the machine souls of each flapping-wing aircraft command node.

"receive."

The pilots pulled the joysticks, and part of the formation continued to clear the airspace, while most of them opened their ammunition bays and dived towards the ground.

According to the Air Force training manual, the bombing altitude was set at 3000 meters, and dive bombing was carried out at a 45° angle towards the ground positions.

At this time on the ground, except for a very small number of mid- and high-sequence extraordinary people, the clan had no air defense force that could stop them.

The next second, countless "solidified whale oil bombs" extracted from petroleum fell from the sky like raindrops.

boom! boom! boom! boom!
The Royal Air Force's regimental title [Sky Overlord, Grill Master] was also fully activated at this moment:
"When five or more flapping-wing aircraft fly in formation, they can gain bonuses from wind and fire elements respectively.

The wind element provides greater lift and greater speed, making the ornithopter as agile as a real bird of prey;
The fire element provides powerful fire element enchantments for projectiles and artillery shells, and when combined with various aerial bombs, it can increase the lethality by 50% out of thin air.

When dive-bombing, wind and fire elements are mobilized at the same time to form a fire tornado."

Many buildings on the ground were transformed by the Druids using towering trees.

Even though they are all living trees and not dry at all, they are no different from firewood when facing the coming of heavenly fire.

The solidified whale oil bomb is essentially similar to the principle of "fire in water". Its power does not lie in explosion but in burning.

The explosion instantly burst into high-temperature flames and sticky aerosols.

The orange-red flames splashed in all directions, continuously generating high temperatures of around 1000°C, and could even stick to other objects and burn for a long time, making it impossible to extinguish.

"Ah ah ah ah ah"

"Help, Shui Shui!"

It was even more tragic when it fell on a person, the sticky flames were like lard ointment and could not be shaken off.

If you pat the fire with your hands, the fire will get bigger. If you roll on the ground to put it out, your whole body will catch fire.

Once a person is on fire, the people nearby cannot escape because the burning person's struggle can easily cause the burning oil to splash onto other people, causing a secondary killing effect.

Some mythical creatures tried to summon rain to put out the fire, but it was simply a drop in the bucket in the face of the massive amount of solidified whale oil bombs and the riots of wind and fire elements.

The raging flames destroyed all the camp buildings of the clan front, almost turning the front into a barbecue party, and the screams were incomparable.

"Kraken!"

Lucifer could no longer tolerate this and ordered the already weak demigod to attack.

The sleeping god Kraken had just rushed into the sky when Violet, who had transformed into a mechanical combat form, swooped down from the sky, catching his dream attack and covering the primitive flapping-wing aircraft with limited ammunition capacity to retreat calmly.

However, before some of the clansmen who had escaped the disaster by relying on the demigod realm could even breathe a sigh of relief by retreating to the lairs of the gods and blood beasts.

The horn of attack was sounded on the opposite human position.

With the help of Byron's Kingdom, the regular army that came here sang the Imperial Army's song "March of the Grenadiers":
“.Hector Lisander, the name of heroes is like this.

Looking at all the heroes in the world, no one can compare to him.

Just me, row after row, North Sea Empire Grenadiers.

Ancient heroes have no sight of deadly cannonballs and iron balls.

Unheard of ignition material, indestructible black powder."

Hearing the military song, everyone from the soldiers to the monsters on the clan side instinctively trembled in their hearts, while the morale of the human side greatly increased.

The more people fear this military song, the more benefits it will bring to the corps that plays this military song, and their strength, speed, and explosive power will be greatly improved.

The opponent's related attributes will be greatly reduced, and after defeat, the [Disheartened] effect will be locked, 100% compensation for excess military expenditures, and tolerance for various unequal treaties will be greatly increased. As the empire conquers all directions, its reputation becomes more and more famous, and its overall strength naturally rises.

The clan members who had just been nearly turned into roasted pigs by the air strike felt as if they had encountered an evil spirit that was demanding their lives when they heard this song. Their hands holding their guns and swords were shaking.

But this time, what they saw were still not light infantry like them.

But another group of steel behemoths!
Yes, the army’s new equipment includes not only new machine guns, but also various large structures.

The "Armored Corps" under the Ministry of the Army, the corps title ability is [Steel Torrent]:
"When charging with 10 or more constructs, you will gain various bonuses.

Blitz: Passive speed increased by 30%;

Armor Assault: Armor strength passively increased by 50%, and failure rate reduced by 80%. "

These animal- and insect-shaped constructs took their first steps, moving as if on flat ground on the battlefield that had been cratered by artillery fire, and transformed into a veritable torrent of steel to assault the clan's front head-on.

Strictly speaking, the construct invented by the Church of the Forge originally belonged to the category of strange objects, but it was modified and developed after the industrialization of the First British Empire.

Most parts can be industrially mass-produced.

The cost of producing a construct that can be driven by ordinary soldiers is much lower than that of a clan, and it is more efficient, and the equipment scale is naturally larger.

Maxim also developed a cannon specifically for these constructs, which was equivalent to an enlarged Maxim machine gun, firing 1-pound shells with a caliber of 37 mm at a rate of 450 rounds per minute. It was called a "bang bang cannon" because of the sound it made when fired.

With Violet, the "Queen of War" who has mastered the roots of mysticism, technological iteration and breakthroughs in processing technology are easier than eating and drinking.

This is steampunk!
The construct can attack from a distance or in close combat. The steel torrent advances while continuously firing, vowing to completely crush everything on the enemy's position.

This is completely different from the war between the clans and the natives in the previous two months. The picture is too disjointed. Many clansmen who regard humans as food can't help but wonder if they are dreaming?
There is a kind of absurdity and horror in which a pig holds a butcher knife and performs a set of butchering techniques.

Lucifer was extremely annoyed by the endless stream of new equipment produced by humans. He had only slept for 1500 years, but the world had become almost unrecognizable.

An ordinary person driving a mass-produced whale oil machine is actually stronger than an ordinary third-order mid-sequence transcendent?

Where do these ant-like humans put the great gods? !
The counterattack of countless ordinary humans before him was more devastating to him than the challenges posed by the four successive human pantheons to the gods and the will of the world.

"It's reversed, everything is reversed!

Lancaster, you traitor to God are seeking death!"

The infant [Enemy Son] Belia, who was floating next to Lucifer, naturally also felt the serious threat posed by humans to himself, and his divine aura instantly merged with the former.

They are brothers from the same mother and share the same enemy.

After several months of adjustment, the powers resonated and the status of the [World Monarch] was completely stabilized.

As the black divine light bloomed, the two figures immediately merged together.

There was a vague sense of darkness that resembled the main body of the world's will, like an information black hole and an unknown collective.

It just reveals more information than the original body, and it cannot be defined at all.

Sometimes it is a hundred meters tall, and sometimes it is as small as dust. At one glance, it is a black stone, and at the next glance, it becomes a tiger or a giant dragon. Apart from the human-related elements, it is the embodiment of the natural world!

He drew the [Sword of Original Sin] from his back and rushed towards the human position.

Byron also leaped out and activated his own authority [One is all, all is one].

He transformed into a giant shining with golden light. One could tell at a glance that he was a "human". He was the embodiment of all human concepts and surpassed mortals in all dimensions. He could be said to be a perfect human being.

A gorgeous crown composed of three circles of light exploded on his head, resounding with praise from all mankind:

"The historical corrector who moves the time, the origin of all changes, the ultimate unity of all things, His Majesty Saint Byron."

Sa——!
His figure flashed and he appeared in front of the combined [Enemy Holy Son].

The Storm Anchor transformed from the Sword in the Stone also enlarged in proportion to him and slammed down at the opponent. The tip of the anchor cut through the atmosphere from back to front, leaving a long crack.

Becoming the collective consciousness of primates [Alaya] means that Byron can mobilize the power of all mankind and even all primates to become his own guards. At this time, he is more powerful than ever before.

The anchor tip was dancing with lightning, and every swing was like a projectile accelerated by the thunderstorms and magnetic field lines in the entire sky, with enough power to tear apart the sky and the earth.

clang!clang!clang!
Byron represents humanity and the "knowable", while Beria represents nature and the "unknowable".

The two completely opposite routes collided violently, and the material world groaned under the heavy burden.

This is not just a fight between two gods, but also the ultimate choice between the two paths of this world.

Other demigods on both sides also joined the battle.

Byron, Catherine, Violet, Cleopatra, Amitāb, and Nova versus Belia, Lucifer, Kraken, Echidna, and Jeanne.

The old gods had few people to begin with, and after leaving their base camp and losing their home advantage and a large number of believers, they became particularly weak and were completely suppressed by humans.

at this time.

A triumphant smile suddenly appeared on the dark face of [Enemy Son]:

"Hahaha, you lose."

Behind him, two brilliant divine lights shot straight into the sky.

However, the hundred-headed dragon mother Tiamat and the thousand-faced serpent Hydra were unable to deal with the torrent of steel coming from outside, so they could only turn around and eat their own killed clansmen.

The accumulated "changes" allowed them to ascend rapidly, and finally reached the critical value of demigod.

This is the original intention of their plan.

No matter whether it is the enemy or our side, casualties will provide nutrients for them. Conventional troops may win or lose, but the two of them will never lose!
He flashed and landed in the camp of the old gods.

However, he did not notice that Joan of Arc quietly moved away from the two old gods who were still rapidly transforming.

It was only because when [Abundant Collection] was extracting the flesh, blood and spirituality from the surrounding area, she took advantage of her position and secretly mixed in some other things.

Violet had long since mastered the secret of energy-matter transformation through [Equivalent Exchange, Vortex of Origin], and her original alchemical gunpowder [Kiss of Flame] had also undergone a transformation.

Under normal circumstances, it is similar to whale oil, which is an organic substance that can be naturally produced by living organisms. Without the relevant authority, no problem can be discovered.

However, when it encounters specific substances, such as the flesh and blood of extraordinary creatures, it will change its nature.

In other words, both are not poisonous separately, but become highly poisonous when combined - [Song of Blood and Fire].

The seasoning added at the beginning also promoted the ascension of the two old gods, which was equivalent to an extra tonic.

But when their divine fire spreads throughout their bodies, reshaping the bodies of the incarnations of their priesthood into those of demigods, even a tiny spark could disrupt the balance.

It is best not to have any physical or emotional fluctuations after poisoning.

"stop!"

Byron made a pause gesture and took the initiative to retreat with his men.

He kindly reminded them:

"You'd better not laugh or move around, or something bad will happen."

The Hundred-Headed Dragon Mother and the Thousand-Faced Snake felt the rapidly rising power in their bodies. They ignored Byron's reminder and laughed as if they had heard a joke.

"So what if we laughed?"

then.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two refused to listen to any advice and unfolded their mythological forms on their own. The old gods, whose bodies were expanding rapidly, suddenly had bloodshot eyes that almost popped out of their eye sockets.

Every corner of his body began to emanate a destructive aura.

Boom——! ! !
Two suns bloomed in the sky again.

Exactly: all the gifts of fate have been secretly marked. Equivalent!

Under the huge firelight, Byron, who had already hidden far away, patted the ashes that fell on his shoulders and answered their questions softly:
"It's no big deal, just like eating a pill of Smiling Half-Budian."
